Yup.....It's the wires that cost so much.

Last week I was having some car troubles. All of the sudden, my check engine light comes on, and it feels like my car wants to puke every time I try to take off. After investigating the sypmtoms on line( I am not very knowledgeable about cars,) and a trip to Auto Zone (where they will do a free diagnostics check on your car) I came to the conclusion that I needed new spark plugs and wires.

Now, being not very car smart, I call my local garage(not A and A auto). I tell the guy what is wrong and ask him for a quote.
He tells me, " Well, I just did this to a Hyundai last week, and it ran I think around $270.00"
Me-"$270.00? Are you serious? For plugs and wires?
Him-"Yup, it's the wires that cost so much."
Me-"All right then, I'll call you back."

Now I'm not that car smart, but $270.00? That just sounded outfuckingrageous!

So I consulted my trusty internet and discovered two things: 1. Hyundai is the only car company in America that puts it's service manuals online for free 2. Changing plugs and wires was not hard.

I go to Auto Zone, and ask for plugs and wires. bracing myself for the huge dent in my checkbook. "That'll be $42.13"

$42.13!

What the fuck? $270.00 to $42.13? Must be in the labor.

I go home and take the twenty minutes from start to finish to complete the job.

$270.00?

Fuck you Swanson's Auto, you just lost me. I used to refer you to people because of your quality and price, but now, you can get fucked.

I am also wondering now if the Jew has done the same thing to me......Wait, yup, he probably has.Gay ass Jew

You should call D&D auto next time you need something done on your car!

I wonder what A and A is going to do. That is a pretty agressive coupon from D and D auto. Maybe A and A could offer a lube job to you and your car for every oil changed purchased.

Before you redeem that coupon you may want to look at Bishops teeth.
